Chapter 645 - Hoodlums in j.a.pan

Many people’s hearts would have a prejudice for Natsuki Sakamoto’s profession, and they would feel that since she could act in such films, she must live an unrestrained life as well. But in reality, this was a misunderstanding. They’re not much different from ordinary people in their daily lives, and they only acted to make a living. Natsuki Sakamoto’s situation was somewhat special; she was forced onto this path because of her family circ.u.mstances since her father was gravely ill.

In just two short years, she filmed in nearly 400 films. According to the filming time and quality, that meant that she practically worked every day, excluding her menstruation period. Not only was her body exhausted from overloading herself with work, but she also inwardly felt haggard. However, her father was still ill, and the doctor told her that he needed a kidney transplant. So even if they managed to find a kidney for her father, she still required an enormous sum of money.

However, Natsuki Sakamoto couldn’t take her previous job anymore, and this was the reason why she came to the pub. Furthermore, she even declared beforehand that she wouldn’t be providing any special services, to which the mamasan had agreed to her request. After all, the mamasan benefited from having a signature lady like Natsuki Sakamoto in her team.

Ever since Natsuki Sakamoto joined the team, her fans swarmed over from everywhere and caused the business to bloom.

But at this moment, she was powerless to help Natsuki Sakamoto. Misaaki Takasugi was a formidable person, and offending him would bring her enormous trouble.

During the dispute, the boss of this pub came over and smiled. “Takasugi, why don’t you let this matter go for my sake? Not only will I waive off your bills today, but I’ll even give you a 40% discount for your future visits!”

Cho Matsumoto had a skinny frame that made him seem weak. Standing before the towering Misaaki Takasugi, he naturally looked much weaker in comparison.

As Misaaki Takasugi sc.r.a.ped his nose with his finger, he replied, “I don’t have a problem in forgiving her as long as she’s willing to leave with me!”

Looking at Misaaki Takasugi with a difficult expression, Cho Matsumoto bitterly smiled. “Takasugi, you’re not only making things difficult for her, but you’re also putting me in a tough spot!”

“What’s the matter? You’re not willing to part with this money-making machine and intend to stand against me?” Misaaki Takasugi savagely smiled.

Upon hearing that, Cho Matsumoto finally realised that the incident today wasn’t a coincidence, but staged. He guessed that Misaaki Takasugi might have been instructed by his compet.i.tor to cause a problem here. As for the reason behind it? It was simple to figure it out. With Natsuki Sakamoto joining their pub, their business bloomed, and it’s natural for others to be envious.

He started to hesitate. After all, for a business of this nature, he had to interact with the underworld more frequently than the police. If he’s a proper business, he could easily call for police upon encountering this situation, but he couldn’t do that right now; thus, he’s placed in an awkward position.

“Takasugi, I’ll give you 1,000,000 yen as compensation! Why don’t we end this matter here?” Cho Matsumoto ultimately took a step back.

“What logic is this? He was the one who started it, and not only did you guys not demand an explanation, but you even want to compensate him?” Gu Li spoke up for justice after figuring out the entire matter.

“Please don’t misunderstand. She’s also a customer, so please don’t pay any attention to her!” Cho Matsumoto did not feel grateful for Gu Li at this moment. On the contrary, he was annoyed at Gu Li for pouring oil on the fire.

Misaaki Takasugi looked at Gu Li before he looked at Cho Matsumoto. He’s here to cause trouble today, but he never expected that Cho Matsumoto would be so timid and nearly made his reason to act unjustifiable. Now that Gu Li stood out, he naturally wouldn’t let go of this matter. After all, he finally found a justifiable reason to cause trouble.

“Miss, you’re pretty bold. You dare to meddle in other people’s business?” Misaaki Takasugi sneered as he walked towards Gu Li.

Gu Li was startled before she swiftly calmed down. She had practised Jeet Kun Do for a period, and it could finally be put into action today.

However, it’s a pity that she’s too innocent and had underestimated Misaaki Takasugi. Before she could even put up a stance, she felt an intense pain coming from her neck being grabbed by Misaaki Takasugi before she was lifted off the ground.

From the side, Xiao Yao exclaimed out, and even Ni Jingqiu was stupefied.

As for Su Tao, he was speechless. He initially thought that Gu Li must have some skills to dare to meddle in someone’s business, but he never expected that she was just overestimating her own ability. Misaaki Takasugi instantly grabbed her neck, and in just ten-odd breaths, her face had turned purple as she tried to grab her throat while whimpering.

Then again, Gu Li’s fearless character was nurtured in the generous environment she grew up in. Although this was j.a.pan, the Gu Family still had some power here. Hence, she had been treated well, and as time pa.s.sed, she naturally became more fearless.

But it’s a pity today that aside from Cho Matsumoto, who had some knowledge about Gu Li’s background, Misaaki Takasugi has no idea at all. Hence, he made Gu Li suffer the moment he acted.

Another minute pa.s.sed, and Su Tao had still yet to make his move. He felt it’s not necessarily bad for Gu Li to learn a lesson.

After all, he did not have a good impression of Gu Li. When he saw her colourful hair, he instantly knew that she had been pampered throughout her life and hadn’t suffered any setbacks.

When the mark hit a minute and a half, Su Tao finally made his move. Because if he still didn"t save Gu Li, she would probably die from suffocation. After all, she brought him and Ni Jingqiu here to enjoy j.a.pan’s culture, so when it’s time to make a move, he wouldn’t hesitate.

Misaaki Takasugi felt his entire body swaying and he lost the sensation of his wrist. He felt as if he was electrocuted and instantly released his grip. Soon after, he felt an intense pain coming from his neck, and he was lifted off the ground.

He had a height of 5’7”, and he could be considered tall in j.a.pan’s population. But before Su Tao, who’s 6’0”, he did not have any advantage. Su Tao easily lifted him off the ground like how he lifted Gu Li and applied pressure on his fingers. His fingers were like nails as they dug into Misaaki Takasugi’s neck, causing the latter to be in excruciating pain.

The entire episode only took a single breath. When Misaaki Takasugi’s companions saw the situation, they cautiously looked at Su Tao before all of them pulled out their switchblades and surrounded Su Tao.

“Release him!” One of them warned.

Although Su Tao couldn’t understand j.a.panese, he could roughly guess their meaning. He slowly lifted his leg and kicked Misaaki Takasugi’s abdomen, to which the latter flew out like a cannonball and smashed against the separation, startling the audience in the surroundings to retreat.

Su Tao smiled since he never expected that j.a.pan’s hoodlums were pretty easy to deal with!

“Bakayarou!” Misaaki Takasugi’s companions instantly flew into a rage and they charged over.

Su Tao twisted his body and shuttled through the crowd, to which the four of them instantly howled in pain.

At the same time, Misaaki Takasugi had also recovered, so he got up and looked at Su Tao. “Who are you? Do you know the consequences of provoking us, the Azure Wolf Group?”

Frowning his brows, Su Tao looked at Ni Jingqiu and asked, “What is he yapping about?”

Ni Jingqiu could only bitterly smile as she translated for Su Tao.

When Su Tao heard the translation, he inwardly sighed. He wouldn’t be in j.a.pan for long, so why would he be afraid of their so-called “Azure Wolf Group”?

He immediately walked in the direction of Misaaki Takasugi and gave a roundhouse kick to the latter’s face, but he failed to control his strength well and knocked that fellow out cold.

Looking at Su Tao’s heroic performance, the audience all clapped and praised his actions.

Only Cho Matsumoto wore an ugly expression. Offending the Azure Wolf Group meant that his business would probably suffer their hara.s.sment, but he knew that Misaaki Takasugi was here to cause trouble. So even if he took a step back, the outcome would still be the same.

“Thank you for your help!” Cho Matsumoto looked at Su Tao.

Hearing the ‘arigato’ which he was familiar with, Su Tao knew that Cho Matsumoto was thanking him. He smiled in response before he came over to Natsuki Sakamoto. “Are you alright? Come, get up!”

After that, he saw a man’s blazer and took it to cover Natsuki Sakamoto.

Natsuki Sakamoto never expected that Su Tao would be such a gentleman. Despite the fact that she couldn’t understand Su Tao’s words, her eyes couldn’t help turning red as she teared up.

She knew that everyone looked at her with prejudice. Even if the boss and mamasan were polite to her, she knew that she’s not worthy of their respect in their eyes.

But in reality, she’s also an ordinary woman. If it wasn’t for making a living, she wouldn’t have sold her looks.

Since Misaaki Takasugi knew that he’s not Su Tao’s opponent, he left with his tail between his legs.

“You guys should leave immediately. When he calls more people over, you guys won’t be able to leave anymore.” Cho Matsumoto warned out of goodwill.

Gu Li recovered from the trauma. She did not expect that Su Tao would be the one helping her. When she looked at Su Tao again, there was something unusual about her gaze.

After Misaaki Takasugi came out, he entered his car and immediately wanted to make a call to seek reinforcements. But before he could even dial the number, his eyes turned black with his neck being strangled. There’s someone in his car, but no matter how he tried to struggle, it was futile. A few minutes later, he lost his consciousness.

When Su Tao’s group came out, they did not encounter the situation that they were expecting, being surrounded by the Azure Wolf Group.

After everyone left, Cho Matsumoto received a call from an unknown number. He never expected that the famous Azure Wolf Group’s leader would personally give him a call and apologise. At the same time, he was scared witless from it.

When he ended the call, he inwardly sighed since he had no idea if this was a fortune or misfortune.

The background of those few people wasn’t simple!

Furthermore, he was too overly concerned. No one would dare to hara.s.s his business anymore!
